Mirabilis Bar and Dusk: Nature-Inspired Hilltop Elegance

Chun Hoong Lau redefines luxury lounging atop Mount Faber

Located within the lush National Park of Mount Faber, Mirabilis Bar and Dusk stands as a testament to innovative hospitality design. The project’s concept was shaped through extensive nature studies, where the design team immersed themselves in the landscape to capture the essence of the locale. Central to the inspiration was the Mirabilis Jalapa, a fragrant flower that blooms in the late afternoon, aligning perfectly with the venue’s opening hours and lending its name and spirit to the bar.

The design introduces two distinct focal areas: Dusk, a refined dining destination, and The Mirabilis Bar, a sophisticated lounge. Both spaces are carved from the existing structure to maximize the stunning seafront and city vistas, ensuring guests are enveloped in the natural beauty of Mount Faber. The seamless integration of the outdoors with the interior environment creates a tranquil yet vibrant atmosphere, ideal for both social gatherings and intimate moments.

One of the standout features is the expanded professional kitchen, which supports an elevated menu designed to complement the bar’s innovative cocktail offerings. This culinary upgrade enhances the overall guest experience, positioning the venue as a premier destination for food and beverage connoisseurs. Additionally, the exclusive hilltop members-only Cigar Room adds a layer of luxury, catering to discerning clientele seeking privacy and exclusivity.

Chun Hoong Lau’s approach emphasizes both form and function, with each design choice reflecting a deep understanding of the site’s natural DNA. The use of materials, lighting, and spatial planning all contribute to an iconic new identity for Dusk Restaurant & Bar, reinforcing its status as a must-visit hilltop retreat.

Recognition for this achievement came in the form of a Silver A' Design Award in 2025, celebrating the project’s outstanding creativity, technical excellence, and ability to evoke wonder. Mirabilis Bar and Dusk not only elevates the standard for leisure destinations but also sets a new benchmark for nature-inspired luxury design.

By harmonizing innovative architecture with the serene beauty of Mount Faber, Mirabilis Bar and Dusk offers an unforgettable lifestyle experience, inviting guests to savor the magic of the hilltop from afternoon bloom to evening dusk.
